How many Wordpress developers does it take to screw up a lightbulb?

This is the last one and I am done with it.

Why isn’t autopublish working?

I have the email plugin working mostly - for some reason the autopublish bit
is not working. Testing a couple of more times.

OK. It should work now. This is post via email.

My nephew, Max Baker, recently had a school project where he had to get correspondence from an out-of-state relative. My sister called me and asked if I would send something from the Garden State, so I sent a letter with a few photos. She just sent me this photo yesterday to let me know it arrived.

Thanks, Metro, for posting this on the CCVA forums.

I must admit I’m not crazy about my commute. The drive in isn’t that bad, but coming home in the afternoon puts me on 4 West and then Garden State Parkway south which means I join all the traffic coming out of New York and heading home. Forgive me, but I hate Garden State Parkway – it’s insulting to have to pay a toll to be in such slow moving traffic. I’m sure I have sympathy from the rest of the folks driving commutes as long as and longer than mine.  Anyway,  lots of folks complain and few try to fix the problem. Hopefully, I will be able to find a carpool group or something soon, it kills me to see how crowded New Jersey is and know that I am one of many single drivers burning up all this fuel.

The job itself is going well. The group I work with seems to know the importance of what we do without letting it be a source of stress. It would be very easy to look around at all that’s going on in the hospital and completely freak out. One of my co-workers has done an excellent job of showing me around the hospital and teaching me about the various systems as well as giving me advice on hospital politics. In one week he has taught me a great deal. Of course it serves him well to do so, for the quicker I learn the more I can help him put out all the little fires that start during the day.

I’ve realized I need more ties. This is the first time in my life that I have worn a tie for five consecutive days. I wish there was some sort of tiebrary where I could check out ties and return them – I really don’t want to add more stuff to my closet!

As of today I am a Systems Analyst at Hackensack University Medical Center. I am looking forward to being part of a stellar IT team at an award winning hospital. I will post about my job here when I feel something is worth sharing.

For any new employees on the way, let me go ahead and tell you to remember your commute may be 15 minutes longer as new hires park at a satellite lot at Fairleigh Dickinson University and take a shuttle in to the medical center.

Thanks to excellent instruction offered here: Reboot Daily: Dell Latitude D800 Dead Display, I was able to repair a dim display in Ashley’s laptop. She will be pleased to get away from the tether of the desktop monitor I was using to solving the problem temporarilly.

I must say that I was not impressed by the number of complaints I found about the same problem with Dell Laptop displays. I hope the newer Dells do not suffer from this problem.
